Vietnam Plans to Switch to Open-Source
,----[ Quote
| The efforts made by Microsoft to reduce software piracy in Vietnam, where an
| industry group has estimated more than 90% of all software is counterfeit
| were useless. The applications got sold as cheap as $2 per CD.
|
| The Communist Party has announced that it will replace Microsoft Office with
| the free software product OpenOffice, to avoid breaching the law or paying a
| lot of money per licensed program. The council that took the decision met on
| Thursday, October 10, to decide how they will choose the open source
| programs.
